Rally for Wisconsin's Workers - This Land Is Your Land

[dbrigham6]

Don't forget about Ike (Mike) Reilly of I.R.A. He's the cat in the full length army trench coat who is the first alternate singer. Another fellow LHS alum, amazing musician, and all around great dude.

[inshepherdswetrust]

he isn't joking playing guitar with cold fingers fucking hurts!

[ichbingott49]

Brought tears to my eyes. At the end, are they saying "kill the pill"?

[opertinicy]

@ichbingott49 they're chanting "kill the bill"

[warez1911]

@ichbingott49 kill the bill

[TheAim1977]

@ichbingott49 I agree- this song, and this version especially, makes me cry. Oh, and they are saying "kill the bill" rather than "- the pill." They're referring to the anti-labor bill the governor was cramming down the throats of Wisconsinites.

[sumblinkfan]

it's great that musicians come together for these types of events

[sumblinkfan]

Tim McIlrath for president

[disestablishme]

the police (sorry i mean COPS) are singing too. thats saying something right there.

[Abe84Tube]

tom morello for president .

[TheAim1977]

@Abe84Tube Yes, yes, yes.

[mr96patrick]

From Pennsylvania we are proud to see what democracy looks like on the news and computer and the ED Show. Keep up the fight because we are with you Wisconsin and we could be next. "An Injury to one is an injury to all"- IWW

[kjcbassman]

God bless you and people like you that are willing to stand up for your rights 

[YouzTube99]

philgarlic, thanks for posting!

And yes, that *is* Brother Wayne Kramer of the legendary MC5 who started fighting the fight before Tom was even in kindergarten. Very cool to see the commitment spanning the generations in this way.

Wayne is featured in this performance of 'Kick Out The Jams' done for the benefit of the workers in WI:

and he has played with RATM (amongst others) as a guest guitarist and continues to score music for TV and films.

[monzione]

mike mccolgans part was incredible

[akaacmeinc]

[alanihawaii123]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos: I wish he was playing guitar in this....

[Nicksta101]

Where did Tim come from?! lol

[ElephantRage]

The IDEA will never die.

[AvatarFriday]

3:18, Tim like a bauss :D

[zepps88]

wow Tom Morello picked up a pen for that person in the audience. what an awesome, down to earth guy

[ManACanadian]

America is not broke.

In 2009, the ten largest military spenders accounted for 75% of world military spending. Anyone wants to guess the country at the top that accounts for 43% of world's military spending? (SIPRI year book 2010)

Anyone!?

US of A (corporate states of America) spent more on military than the other 9 major spenders!

Sooooooorry! No money for the working men and women. Only for owners of weapons factories.

[ramairluvr]

Greedy unions who have chosen to politicize their causes and align themselves with the entitlement minded liberals are ruining and bankrupting out country. It doesn't matter that the legislature passed this law...you have bankrupted your state and the money is not there anyway. All unions want is more, more, more while the private sector continues to suffer. Can't wait to boot out the rest of these dirty Democrats in 2012 so we can free our country from liberal scum.

[franks2732]

@ramairluvr mm that seems very unlikely

[dudelikesWoW]

@ramairluvr XD XD XD XD funny

[badgerstate1]

Message from Wisconsin: Get out and vote because your kids can't. You don't want these education cuts where you live. Get your feet on the ground and tell everyone. Vote. (and recall when necessary)

Solidarity from Portugal!

Workers united WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

[zepps88]

@primusfeces yeah except they're a bunch of pussies who don't do anything. obama is so intimidated by republicans' criticism that he never acts on anything. fuck both parties; now that is something i can agree with. all politicians are owned by billion dollar corporations, including the democrats. over the past 30 years the U.S. government has transformed into a system that is coordinated to benefit the upper class.

[warhater]

My Dad's a Union Man / My Brothers & Sisters too / Six boys, four girls / My parents grew /

[zepps88]

@primusfeces i will when the republicans give up their reign of terror

[marcelthemaoist]

This land is not your land, it's stolen native land. ameriKKKans want more more more and comparing this "struggle" to that of Egyptians is a huge insult, ameriKKKa stop being the pig at the world's trough!

[marydwyer14119]

@marcelthemaoist America is the world. Study economics, comeback and thumps up my post.

[marcelthemaoist]

@marydwyer14119 ameriKKKa is not the world, it's just the center of an empire that can be called the Golden Billion. It is outnumbered by the rest of the 5 billion that ameriKKKa exploits, and one day it will be sacked just like Rome.

[marydwyer14119]

@marcelthemaoist And what happened to half the world when Rome fell? America is the driving economic force in the world. What's up with the KKK reference? We have a half black president.

[marcelthemaoist]

@marydwyer14119 True, things got worse for some time, which is what might happen when ameriKKKa falls for a bit. In fact, 1st worlders will have to lose out in order for the world to be egalitarian, the point I have been making from the start about this workers wanting MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE. Fuck these 'Roman citizens'. Forward the Barbarian hordes!

[marydwyer14119]

@marcelthemaoist So the middle must be dismantled why the rich get more tax cuts so Africa can be free?

[marcelthemaoist]

@marydwyer14119 No, I didn't say anything like that at all. ameriKKKa needs to be destroyed from top to bottom, get it? watch?v=ndIKdTOEytU

[marydwyer14119]

@marcelthemaoist Would you rather the right wing of this country consolidates more power and continues to upset the rest of the world? I think you should support any attempt to bridge the gap between the wealthy and the workers. I'm sure you know how the elite have fucked up this planet. Do you really think public employees are responsible for any of the worlds problems?

[zepps88]

@primusfeces It's not just about collective bargaining, you idiot. It's about preventing the right wing from totally corrupting America's democracy. These people aren't letting the government walk all over them, similar to the people in the Middle East. The only reason why it isn't about life and death is because they're ALLOWED to protest in America.

[g4macdad]

@zepps88

WRONG they aren't "allowed" to protest. Where have you been? The Right-Wing shut down the protests DAYS ago. Mubarak still rules, RIGHT HERE!

*

This is ALL about Republicans vs. Democrats and anyone who can't see that, has already LOST!

[zepps88]

@g4macdad i think you're the one who's lost. they are "allowed" to protest, dumbfuck. why do you think they weren't all arrested/fired from their jobs? every American has the right to protest and it is still ongoing. Mubarak resigned as president on February 11. check up on your facts before you make any more retarded claims.

[RevolutionaryBrewer]

The workers of Canada are with you. In the end we are all just common people trying to eke out a living - we give all we can - we don't have any more to give. We want to move forwards not backwards.... in solidarity

[bensmith3200]

Woody Guthrie is smiling on us!

[jackiesglitter]

@primusfeces This isn't about collective bargaining. It is about whether or not the repugs will destroy the Democratic party in Wisconsin. The whole exercise here is to destroy the unions which are the sole Democratic organization in this state, whereas the repubs have many, many corporate sponsors from within and without the state. I love Rage against The Machine! Arm the Homeless!!!!

[IP0Monsturd]

Fire all these union retards and replace them with illegal aliens who will work twice as hard at 1/3 the wages and none of the benefits. Problem solved.

[PenderGilchrist]

@IP0Monsturd Fuck you, you elitist cunt.

[IP0Monsturd]

@PenderGilchrist Gov. Walker has signed the bill and the earthquake in Japan knocked you union stooges all the way back to page A27 in our local paper. Nobody gives a shit about you anymore, Slappy. You were used like your mothers tampon. LOL

[franks2732]

@IP0Monsturd Goodbye GOP see you next century, what was that the shortest serving governor of Wisconsin, what's his name, Walker, just keep on walking, pack the bags and fuck off

[IP0Monsturd]

@franks2732 Hopefully, you will get a Gov. like Jerry Brown who will give the unions all you want, but also open the flood gates to illegal aliens who will do your job for 1/3 of what you make. Look at California. It's a shit hole and it's Wisconsins future. You might want to learn how to say "fuck off" in spanish. You will need it when Julio steals your job.

[franks2732]

@IP0Monsturd LMFAO, to think you actually believe that people vote GOP because they believe in it. The trolls have come out from under the bridge and robbed the peasants blind. Now the peasants have said enough fuck off. The pitchforks are out!

[franks2732]

@IP0Monsturd LMFAO, to think you actually believe that people vote GOP because they believe in it. The trolls have come out from under the bridge and robbed the peasants blind. Now the peasants have said enough fuck off.

[IP0Monsturd]

@franks2732 Sounds more like the overburdened taxpayers told the greedy union trolls and stooges to fuck off. And where is Barry? When he was running for president he promised to put on a comfortable pair of walking shoes and march with his useful idiots in Big Labor. Barry must be hiding under the same bed as those Wisconsin democrats. It must be crowded under there.

[franks2732]

@IP0Monsturd Sounds like you got a case of the forgets and sounds like you wish to blame a "Greedy Union" for everything where the reality is much different. And it sounds like in about 12 months time there will be a new governor and I expect about 8 new members of the state government. None of them GOP. Sound like you guys got an ass wooping and a well deserved one

[IP0Monsturd]

@franks2732 I would tell you to blow me but you are too busy blowing your shop steward. Do me a favor and peek under the bed and say hello to the dems for me.

[franks2732]

@IP0Monsturd can't wait to november, be a hell of a lot of new faces, none GOP LMFAO

[IP0Monsturd]

@franks2732 How many of you union stooges voted for the GOP in the last election? None. Because you were told who to vote for. So why would the GOP be worried about votes they would not get anyways?

[franks2732]

@IP0Monsturd how many christian right stooge's were bussed in by the GOP, or tea party stooges, or big business stooges etc etc . What a fucking stupid comment. People walk in a polling both and choose who they will vote for and it is not the democrats who are trying to prevent people from voting. What an idiot

[Allrelated]

@IP0Monsturd stupid jerk

[liam13coins]

Arm the Homeless!!!!!!!

[iAshtonss]

this put a smile on my face:D

This videos should have the views in the billions. Morello in 2012

[communistjesus]

IMPEACH WISCONSIN GOVERNOR AND RICH ASS KI SSER Scott Walker.. Plus, his croonies... WALKER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, WORKER.. Have U heard the prank call he got from a "KOCH Brother' impersonator,, He was like a little B itch dog trying to please his master.. This really show WHAT ALL POLITICIANS care the most about... It is NOT you the working Man and women of these UNITED STATES... Shame on WALKER IMPEACH his A55...

[PenderGilchrist]

Bless the wonderful workers of Wisconsin. Solidarity from Medford, MA.

[onoludilo]

Oh, man....

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

I'm still having tears in my eyes...

[onoludilo]

I like the guy in uniform @ 2:28 singing! :) (It would be cool if he was a cop)

[xglisk]

Never give up, Never give in. Take it easy, Take it!

[badgerstate1]

Forward.

[zepps88]

@primusfeces it's not just for a teacher's union, dipshit. it's for ANY public union. people are dying in other countries because their leaders are dictators who don't allow protesting. it doesn't mean their cause is any more important.

[zepps88]

Conservatives are the most selfish, disgusting people on the planet. They justify their beliefs through ignorance and say they're doing things to help greater good when they really just care about benefitting themselves. The entire world hates our country because of actions taken by conservative leaders. I'm ashamed to be a citizen of a country run by these hypocritical douchebags.

[captncrunchisdank]

gov. walker is the man..

these guys suck balls at signing

[zepps88]

@captncrunchisdank you probably prefer justin bieber

[1canyonguy]

If it werent for the unions we would not have 40hr work weeks / overtime/pensions/minimum wage- WTF else do you need to know?

[lladnarg]

When I lived in Paris, France I saw public service workers throw rocks and fireworks at the cops - they are all commie fucknuts!!!

[MrRiggyRiggs]

You mean there is a sun out there? Who knew....

[Qutter]

@primusfeces Your name has "feces" in it. I don't really think your opinion is valid.

[1populist]

I used to be distraught because my generation did not have a proper successor to Woody Guthrie. I am confident to say that we have located him. He is Tom Morello.

[1canyonguy]

@1populist If you know what was written on Woodys guitar you might agree that Tom and us are the machine now.

This is what we are Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology.Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy. Source wikipedia

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@noregrets2day lmao, well before you get carried away, first of all you are not in a real union, Second of all where were you and all the fags protesting in madison when we were getting raped up the ass by business. You are all worthless and i have burned my uw paraphenalia and will never support uw madison again.

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@noregrets2day goddamn it just amazes me what hypocrites you people are.

[ehcnalBesoRaL]

Solidarity from Québec. Keep it up

the world is watching you!!

[MegaSteve1957]

Good luck from myself in Northern Ireland.

[demmmmm1]

Grew up in Wisconsin. Haven’t been back much since the 90’s, but have never been prouder of my home state.

On the flip side - WHY THE HELL DID YOU ELECT REPUBLICANS?

[Wiscompton608]

@demmmmm1 I guess people were too busy to vote since we had a democratic president.... But besides Madison, WI is mainly republican

[lapuntadelfin]

Inspired in Australia. Keep going and never settle for a circuit breaking, momentum killing shit offer from Walker and co. They will try one on soon and they will try to steal your momentum. #SolidarityWorldWide

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

lame

[zepps88]

Solidarity from MN. keep fighting

[MsLilyth]

THANK YOU FROM MADISON, WISCONSIN!

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@MsLilyth madison, a proud town where the women are women and the men are too.

[demmmmm1]

@FriendlyGeekClassics You must’ve never had your ass kicked in a Wisconsin bar. Unless you were joking, in which case I apologize.

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@demmmmm1 no i wasnt joking and i live in wisconsin and madison is a city of faggots.

[demmmmm1]

@FriendlyGeekClassics So, you’re a bigot. Well, that makes sense I suppose. Enjoy your bigoted day.

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@demmmmm1 fuk you fag. Fags are not included in the diversity spectrum. So hating on fags is the same as hating child molesters(like the homos in the catholic church who molested those kids), is acceptable.

[demmmmm1]

@FriendlyGeekClassics Peek out from under that rock. It’s really nice out here.

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@demmmmm1 shut up fag.

[demmmmm1]

@FriendlyGeekClassics Your eyes are growing heavy...you are getting sleepy...when I snap my fingers you will awaken with clarity and you will no longer be a child.

Hey. I’ve got a gay friend in Wisconsin - MMA fighter. Would you like to meet and tell him what you think of him?

[linuxgnome]

Turns my stomach to watch these cheese baggers.

[badgerstate1]

Forward Wisconsin. Thank you everyone for your support. It means more than you may ever know.

[gemandu]

They are trying to do the same thing in Virginia at a different scale. Gov McDonnell patting Walker Wisconsin Ranger on the back make my stomach turn and makes it obvious where things will be going down here soon. We're behind you Wisconsin.

[hartval]

Poor bastards....

The media is blocking you out..

The masses are fed the pablum called FOX , CBS puts the story in a "Oh by the way" column, ABC is not showing a god damn thing, NBC is more worried about the KaDaffy Duck than its own citizens.

The unions need to push a mass sign up.. and get the people jobs with businesses that are holding on to a shit load of money.

PUSH and PUSH HARD!

We are all lazy bastards with the "sorry about your luck", I really would like to help..but I need my job.

I was there. :)

[freedomfightertwo]

We are all going to have to rise up like the Egyptians and fight for our freedom against the corrupt goverments and criminal banking oligarchs.

[siksastaka]

I leaned in church that Arlo Guthrie barred his father's song to be printed in the Unitarian hymnal. Outrageous. Arlo is a big libertarian Ron Paul fan. Arlo used to be cool, but Republican propaganda killed all his brain cells.

[zzPinkTacozz37]

@siksastaka i know man, its a goddamn shame too.

[RiotActOfficial]

where is tom gabel?

[vrolb0617]

This made me choke up so much. Amazing at what we've accomplished the past week.

[FriendlyGeekClassics]

@vrolb0617 yeah. me too. not. the real workers are not real happy right now, take my word for it.

[hucktunes]

That really does make me choke up. Our national anthem sung by a wonderful choir.

[moofasa1211]

@hucktunes  That's not the National Anthem,,,,,, unless you mean for protests....lol

[skankbook]

Gods of rock right there.

[JCFXSI]

All week long I've been saying we need Tom Morello, and like superman he appears.

Thank you Tom.

BTW, Rise Against is an awesome band.

[moofasa1211]

@JCFXSI Your comment would be more of a compliment if you'd taken the time to research before you posted.... THE BAND NAME IS

"RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE"... NOT Rise Against..

I'm not berating, Just Educating,,,, He took the time to appear for OUR CAUSE.... It might be offensive to get the name wrong....

[JCFXSI]

@moofasa1211 Yes I know the bands name is Rage Against the Machine, I've been a fan since the first album and have them all... along with the Night Watchman and Street Sweeper Social club, and even Audioslave (rage's band members).

I said RISE AGAINST, because the lead singer of RISE AGAINST, showed up also with TOM :) Another great band, and a great surprise.

[moofasa1211]

@JCFXSI Thanks, for the bit of Education, Sorry I

ASS U ME'd

I don't know any of the other bands on stage.

I will have to look up and check out Rise Against,

I do apologize, I did figure you were abbreviating Rage,,, lol

SEE YOU IN MADISON, don't forget.

Us Union Building Trades were holding a cookout for free.
